Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has reportedly been taken aback by news of an upcoming documentary that delves into aspects of her previous marriage and personal life, casting a shadow over her current chapter with Prince Harry. The documentary, spearheaded by German TV producer Ulrike Grunewald, promises to explore intimate details of Meghan and Harry’s life in Montecito, California, drawing on insights from local sources and royal commentators.

According to reports, concerns have arisen within the Sussexes’ circle about potential revelations that could undermine their efforts to safeguard privacy. “There are many things that both of them, especially Meghan, don’t necessarily want in the public domain,” a source revealed, hinting at apprehensions over aspects of Meghan’s life before marrying into the royal family.

Meghan Markle, known for her role in the legal drama ‘Suits’ and active engagement in humanitarian causes, has faced scrutiny over her past relationships, including her marriage to Trevor Engelson, a film producer. The documentary is poised to revisit this period of her life, raising questions about its potential impact on her and Harry’s narrative of forging a new path outside royal duties.

Despite their efforts to focus on initiatives such as the Invictus Games, aimed at supporting wounded veterans, the couple finds themselves navigating yet another media storm. “This is their big chance to show they can still be royal without the full-time commitment,” the source added, highlighting their determination amidst ongoing challenges.

As the documentary awaits release, Meghan and Harry remain steadfast in their commitment to each other and their causes, viewing each obstacle as an opportunity to strengthen their bond. Whether this latest scrutiny will affect their newfound happiness remains to be seen, but it underscores the ongoing complexities of life in the public eye.

Prince Harry says Meghan is ‘so similar to’ his mother Princess Diana. Is that the reason why he always obeys her?

The Duke of Sussex said his wife and late mom have the same “compassion” and “empathy”

Prince Harry sees a lot of similarities between Meghan Markle and Princess Diana. The Duke of Sussex spoke on Netflix’s new documentary series Harry & Meghan about his wife having the same confidence and empathy as his late mother.

“So much of what Meghan is and how she is, is so similar to my mom,” Harry said. “She has the same compassion. She has the same empathy. She has the same confidence. She has this warmth about her.”

The Duke added, “I accept that there will be people around the world who fundamentally disagree with what I’ve done and how I’ve done it, but I knew that I had to do everything I could to protect my family. Especially after what happened to my mom. You know, I didn’t want history to repeat itself.”

In one scene in the series, Meghan is seen holding, presumably, son Archie Harrison up to look at a photo of Princess Diana, saying, “That’s your Grandma Diana.”

Harry’s mother passed away in 1997, twenty years before Harry and Meghan got engaged in 2017. During their engagement interview—which Meghan referred to as an “orchestrated reality show” on the Netflix series—the Duke revealed that he designed Meghan’s engagement ring with little diamonds from his mother’s jewelry collection “to make sure that she’s with us on this, on this crazy journey together.”

Discussing having Diana’s stones in the interview, the Duchess said, “I think everything about Harry’s thoughtfulness is, and the inclusion of that and obviously not being able to meet his mom, it’s so important to me to know that she’s a part of this with us.”

Harry admitted at the time that he believed his mother and Meghan would have been “thick as thieves.” He said, “I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know, so excited for me,” adding that Diana probably would have been “best friends with Meghan.”
